UPDATE: We just returned from the vet a few minutes ago. Joey is very anemic, dehydrated & has some jaundice. The vet said it could be (insert big word here) a blood parasite, which is treatable or something else (didn't say what) that isn't. He gave him an antibiotic shot & fluids, along with a dose of liquid vitamins. He sent home the vitamins & some antibiotic capsules & said hopefully this will work. I waited until he was done before I told him I couldn't pay him today, so he let me charge it. Please pray it's the blood parasite & that the antibiotics knock it out so that Joey can get well. Thank you all.
Joey took a bad turn last night & is barely hanging on. I called the vet this morning & he was going out on an emergency call & would let me know when he was back in the office, but that it would be around noon. I just got a call & he's pushed it to 1:15. Please pray that Joey can hold on & that he can be healed from whatever is making him sick.

ReplyDeleteWe are cranking up the purrs for Joey! We hope he is doing better this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteIf it is the blood parasite heomobartonella he might need prednisone fast. That is what Smudge had, he didn't make it. But most cats do recover from that. Smudge actually had to have a blood transfusion he was so anemic. But the prednisone can really help if it's haemobartonella he might really need it fast.
